The watchmaking brand, Patek Philippe, is widely known for its timepieces that are more than what meets the eye. As an established designer and producer of the world’s grandest watch complications, the brand gets accolades for the engineering that sit beneath the dials rather than on the outward aesthetics of the pieces. But of course, that does not mean it prefers the shabby and boring. The Ladies Nautilus is a shining proof of that. In addition to its mechanical self-winding movement, date window and sweep second hand, the watch’s 33.6mm rose gold case and straps is fully set with diamonds in gridless setting. That’s right, the strap, clasp, bezel and dial are all covered with the precious stone. Each elegant design and pattern is unique in every piece, all of which are adorned with around 9. 05 carat of diamonds. For certain, this watch from Patek Philippe is as elegant to wear as it is amazingly functional.
